Networked vehicle control systems to facilitate situational awareness of vehicles

A method comprising:

• implementing a vehicle awareness system including:
• (i) a first one or more computer systems for a vehicle disposed within an omnidirectional environment, the first one or more computer systems configured to implement one or more autonomous or semi-autonomous control features to control the vehicle;
• and (ii) a second one or more computer systems disposed within the omnidirectional environment;
• collecting, via the first one or more computer systems, omnidirectional environment data representing one or more conditions of the omnidirectional environment in which the vehicle is disposed, wherein the one or more conditions relate to the one or more autonomous or semi-autonomous control features or to a portion of the omnidirectional environment that is external to the vehicle;
• transmitting the omnidirectional environment data;
• receiving, at the second one or more computer systems, the omnidirectional environment data;
• analyzing, via the second one or more computer systems, the omnidirectional environment data to detect the one or more conditions of the omnidirectional environment and to determine that at least one of the one or more conditions represents a hazard in the omnidirectional environment;
• activating, via the second one or more computer systems, an alert in response to detecting that at least one of the one or more conditions represents the hazard in the omnidirectional environment.
